Unrestricted gifts allow the Foundation to give support where it is most needed to meet Sandusky Library's changing needs each year. All contributions to the Foundation, less operating expense (about 3% of our budget), are directed entirely for the benefit of Sandusky Library, the Follett House Museum, and the Castalia and Kelleys Island branch libraries.

Double your gift! - Many employers contribute matching gifts for employees' charitable contributions. Please check with your personnel office to obtain the necessary forms.
Leave a Legacy - A bequest or planned gift is a special gift, representing the donor's legacy for the future of the Sandusky Library. The Foundation can assist you with planned gifts, including bequests, trusts, securities, or property transfers.
